new McDonalds commercial

CyberGhost

Have you guys/girls seen the new mcdonalds commercial where something bad happens to a teeager(like a girl being dumped) and this moron in a white suit comes out singing and offers them a hamburger?

WHAT A ****ING BULL****!?

What an idiot came up with that commercial and what an ever more of an idiot allowed it to air?

basically what it advertises is.... when you're depressed stuff hamburgers down your throat.

I know lots of you will probably just laugh at me, but seriously, that commercial just infuriates me, 1. it's absolutely cringeworthy and stupid. 2.have corporations just lost all their conscience? how can you advertise to kids that when you're down you should eat a hamburger?

But that aside, this is now the what,third or fourth one of those ads(I don't know so if someone could correct that for me) and this one is seriously awful.I mean the acting is dreadful and its just......aahhhh!

thebman

Never heard of him until this ad thing started and he was on podge and rodge or the panel or something.

He sucks whoever he is and these crappy ads suck too especially the acting.

Have not ate in McDonalds in years becuase I don't consider it food. Not changing my mind. The ad is about the same quality as the food IMO.

the ads are fantastic, anything which brings Johnny Logan back into the spotlight where he belongs is good in my book, Johnny is King

Is the spotlight there for the convenience of the firing squad?

No not really.

I wonder is he aware of the fact that people are taking the p*ss out of him big time because of those awful ads -- then again I suppose any publicity is good publicity for him nowadays.

I heard on the radio that RTE bosses are going to bring him back for the next Irish Eurovision entry -- wonder will he be holding a McDonalds bag on stage...LOL

He would have done a lot better than this years entry singing that "hold me now" song he sings on the commercial.

Good to see him back on the screen, even if he cant act to save his life.

Surely thats sarcasm. By the way, he's poplular in Belgium...no idea why...probably coz they're weird.

That's it! The new Hoff. How about The Log?

Seriously, these ads are a pure pisstake, don't take them so seriously. I think The Log's tongue is firmly in his cheek.

Such anger...

Maybe the guy's just hard up at the moment and needs the money.

I have never heard the word "dumped" spoken with such grace. It actually feels like i was squeezing a warm turd through my supple cheeks.

rannerap

i saw the new one where the teenager puts tanning cream on by accident and laughed for about ten minutes lol i think theyre great!

Arathorn

Always gets a chuckle out of me.. People are talking about it so that would make it a successful ad I would say

I want to punch that girl in the face so much. I have never seen someone act so badly for such a simple line...God I hate her right now. Its just one line!

Pigman II

In defence of the advert it did at least finally get Johnny Logan to come out of the closet.

Ruu_Old

Grrrr! He has a very punchable face and when you are done there just work on the stomach.

Would you like a career with that?

*Johnny Logan would.....

I think they're funny
especially the one with the guy and the fake tan

Baggly

Went to a presentation given by one of the people involved in this ad amongst others.

Its not suggesting stuffing hamburgers down your throat when you are unhappy, if you will look more closely, the implication is that mcdonalds can comfort you once in a while when you might need it.

the whole positioning is that teenage life can be tough, and where else but mcdonalds can you buy something for a euro and hang around all day.

Now i might not necessarily buy into this myself, but i can respect that alot of people have their minds made up about mcdonalds well before they see the ad.

And please dont talk about production values or acting, its a tongue in cheek ad that is a bit of craic. I thought it was funny the first time i saw it anyway.

If you dont get it, you probably aren't in the target group that it was meant for anyway.

I deny your request. Bad acting distracts from any production, tonuge in cheek or not. I want to punch that girl in the face. I assume this is not the impression McDonalds were going for.

Oh, actually, i agree with you for that one...god i hate that girl so much...and her snot nosed friends......why i autta

Irelands entry came last. The woman cannot sing. Johnny Logan can sing. It's hard to imagine him doing as bad, he could not do worse. Why do you say Belgium people are weird? Do you know any?

cson

I'd imagine he knows a few Belgians with a location such as 'Leuven, Belgium'.

Yes but look at the post he was replying to. I would assume the Eurovision people would see through us entering the same guy we won with years ago with the same song. I'm assuming thrill doesnt realise "hold me now" was already a Eurovision song.

I remember he was on the late late a few weeks back and Pat was like 'WHY?'

I imagined his answer should have been like Krusty's: 'They drove a dumpster truck of money to the door of my house! I'm not made of stone!'

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!


lol, I don't think "corporations" and "conscience" should be used in the same sentence tbh. Lost their conscience? Since when did corporations have a conscience in the first place?

I mean honestly I hate all this ridiculous overt advertising, but for the sake of ease, most of the time I just ignore that fact and laugh at the stupidity of the ads.

The ad in question is hilarious.

Tar.Aldarion

The ad is pretty funny.
As for corporations having a conscience, they have to show that they have a social conscience(working witht he environment etc most of the time, as it makes their shares do better.

Stephen

These ads are better than the other one they're running at the moment about how brilliant it is to be a mcdonalds burger-flipper-that-works-his-way-up-to-manager despite the constant slagging you get

Your living cuckoo land if you actually believe that IMHO.

Anyone recall last year he did some pimped out video collabo with an r&b singer from the continent, birds, champagne and white pimp suit in the vid

Was watching Reeling in the Years 1987 last night, when he won. Christ hes always been as much of a knob, even back then.

Well you seem to be talking about the ad so that "idiot" you speak of seems to have done a good job.

Also the guy in the white suit is JOHNNY LOGAN, and also the ad features up and coming model Ruth O'Neill.

Finally the ad is old
